I have some alpinestar sp-8 for sale if you want a decent pair of gloves?
They fit me perfectly, my hands are skinny with long fingers. Depends if you're chubby or fit
I had SP8's, if you're curios how they would do in a crash. Check my thread out, there're a few pictures of how they held up.

Man, I looked like a right **** this morning. Coming out of my drive, I saw some builders watching, so thought I'd gun it a bit. I have to turn 90 to go down the street, so I simply blipped the throttle to kick the bike around. I blipped a bit too much and the back swung out due to wet leaves, and the bike nearly went over. Luckily I had my leg out so it didn't fall, I carried on blipping it and it brought the bike upright and I shot off down the road.
Proper SM.

You two should go for a ride, no lube... I didn't even get a card from my workplace, been working there 3 years too... Oh well, f...My bosses think they're funny:
I do love their humor though, haha

Cheers but I'm looking for short gore-tex gloves.
Is the size guide on here look right to you? Going off that a XL might be tight on me?! As said I don't have big hands imo...

My RST summer gloves are a Large as too are my Gerbing heated gloves. Seems odd.

I wear medium gloves in a Rev It and I need a large in Alpinestars. They fitted a bit too tight for comfort when I tried some recently.
That's hilarious but they need educating in bike choice. I'd be very impressed if they'd found an RSV4.

Can anyone (of the taller people ) recommend some long waterproof over trousers?
I've got a set of Richa rain warrior but the trousers after 40 minutes of heavy rain let water in around the crotch/bum area, just by the water sitting on/next to the trousers and it seeping in, not through any seams. Gonna look for a new paid but need some that are LONG as I'm 6ft 3 and normal length ones just ride up over my boots.

I think waterproof overs just generally wear out and start leaking. My last pair did and I've just bought Richa rainwarrior and I'm dry as a bone after an hour in heavy rain
I'm a short arse so these are long on me

Yeah it could be that, they've kept me dry before on long trips and hours of riding through europe in the rain so it's probably just that. Problem is I've put some straps on them to keep the legs down as they ride over my boots otherwise so need some proper long ones, pref with some sort of fastening by the boots.I think waterproof overs just generally wear out and start leaking.

It might, I've done nikwax on my textiles but not yet tried them out properly - I'll be using the lightweight waterproofs for the alps trip to go over leathers/kevlar jeans, not gonna take my full textiles.
